Biography
Harold Keke was born in 1971 on Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands, and he was a Catholic before leaving the faith to become a criminal in Papua New Guinea before returning home and embracing Evangelicalism. Keke worked as a police officer until the 1990s, when violence broke out between recent immigrants from Malaita and the natives of Guadalcanal, and Keke became the leader of the Guadalcanal Revolutionary Army, claiming that he was leading his people to the promised land. Keke was little more than a warlord, and in 2003 he surrendered to Australian peacekeepers and was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2005.
